Luminarc Quadro 2-Liter Glass Pitcher with Lid, 67.5 Ounce, Clear/White

I really like this type of pitcher. This is my 3rd one. I am still using the first 2 I bought over 18 years ago! I love the thick glass walls and bottom of it. I pour hot coffee directly in without prepping it, but only if the pitcher is room temp already, not cold. I do not take a pitcher that has been in the fridge and pour very hot liquid in it. In that case, I recommend using your faucet water to warm it from cold to tepid at least, then it’s ready for hot liquid. However, I would not try pouring boiling water in one of these pitchers without at least first acclimating the pitcher with very hot water. Ok, enough about temp. I have found that these are wonderful pitchers for keeping any type of liquid in them. I even keep my home-made Kahlua in one with the pour-top on all the time until next batch. I have found these pitchers to be the most durable ever, taking knocks from accidental banging them on granite tops, etc. and I’ve never caused so much as a tiny crack in them. And, they’re pretty enough to go from fridge to table for any type of gathering. However, of course put something underneath your pitcher to absorb the condensation that is sure to occur from cold/iced liquids in your pitchers. I usually use decorative pot-holders either alone or with a doily- type cover. I’ve even put my pitchers on beautiful cast-iron trivets with a folded solid colored cloth underneath, or something more decorative underneath depending on the occasion. Those are just ideas of what I’ve done. These pitchers are made strong enough to go on picnics too. As for cleaning stains out of the glass, I use Bar Keepers Friend (a non-abrasive but powerful powder cleanser). I use the cleanser with a combo nylon scrubber on one side and sponge on other. I don’t use a lot of “elbow grease” force when cleaning so as to not scratch my pretty pitchers, even though that shouldn’t happen given with what I use to clean them. I just don’t want to take that chance. As far as the hard plastic pour tops, after 18 years of taking them off for mild cleaning between pitcher-fulls, just 2 months ago, one of the tops finally cracked along the edge on the very top rim. I used a clear type of super-glue made for plastic and it’s been fine since. I have 2 types of plastic tops that came with each pitcher. I prefer the newer tops that have a strainer pour on 1 side and a regular pour on the other - so if you want your OJ strained, you just turn the top until strainer is lined up with the pitcher spout, or use the regular pour to block pieces of ice - it’s terrific! These pitchers have been the most sturdy I’ve ever had. Mine don’t leak when pouring, but it would if pitcher is turned on its’ side or upside down. Just use your noggin’ and make sure when transporting these pitchers with liquid in them, that they’re stored in their upright position (and supported enough to stay that way). I give these pretty pitchers 2 thumbs up! :)

Before I get into the review, I just want to clear up what seems to be a source of confusion: The container (glass) is made in France, & the lid (plastic) is made in China. This is not unusual. I used to have an old standard 64oz pitcher for my wife's iced tea, but it took up too much room in the fridge & was too heavy, when full, for her to easily pour. She loves this, as the glass is lighter & the overall weight is less since it holds about 8oz less liquid. It just means I have to make her iced tea a bit sooner than before. The rectangular shape also allows me to store 2 of these in about the same space taken up by the old 64oz pitcher. As to the lid; it's really just designed to hold back ice & chunks of fruit when pouring. It was never designed to be leak/spill-proof. If you need that, look for a container with a twist-on locking lid. The 60°C limit just means the plastic melts when it gets too hot. Not a problem for me, since I don't plan to cook in this. The bottle had a warning not to change the temp by more than around 140°C, so don't pour boiling water into it if you just pulled it out of the freezer. Room temp to boiling is around 75-80° difference, so boiling water won't hurt it with normal use. I have 2 & am considering buying a 3rd to store milk, to make pouring easier for my wife.

This small pitcher is perfect for small hands to handle. I got it for my 2 year old son to use, and he loves it. It is easy to twist the top to allow the liquid out, but the top stays secure while pouring. The size is perfect to keep some water in the fridge that he can access when he wants. Even if it all gets spilled it isn't a huge amount so it's an easy mess to clean. I like how wide the opening is, it allows it to be cleaned easily. He enjoys that he can get himself a drink, and I like that it is nice and sturdy. It's been dropped a few times and has held up just fine. It is glass so I do try to be careful, but accidents happen. I like this little pitcher so much I plan on purchasing a few more to use for other liquids. Great for those doing Montessori or trying to foster independence in your young children.

Amazonで購入したブラタイプの冷水ポットがいい加減くたびれてきたので、ガラスタイプのものを物色していたら昔々たいそうお気に入りだったクワドロピッチャーに行き着いた！一人暮らしの時に1.1Lのものを使っていて、とても使い勝手が良かったので今回はレビューも◎な1.7Lを購入。うちは通年黒豆茶を沸かして冷やしたものをガブガブ飲んでいるので、2個注文しましたが冷蔵庫のドアポケットにもピッタリで2個入れてもガサばらずスッキリ収納できます。 クワドロの各タイプに多い注ぎ口からのダダ漏れは注ぐ時にボトルを傾け過ぎなければ大丈夫👌製造もChinaではなくFranceでした^^ ちなみに本体は丈夫なガラス製ですが、柔そうなプラスキャップに関しては変え蓋が楽天やハンズにあるので心強いです。 ←Amazonでは現在取り扱いがないようですね。

扱いやすい大きさで、冷蔵庫の中のスペースを取らない。頑丈で取り扱いが楽で危なげが無い。ガラス物はなんでもそうだけれど、透明なガラスが冷やされて美しく曇り、それが涼しげで良い。

Worth the price and do the job

Nice water jug. Slim profile fits in the fridge easily. Nice looking too. Jug is dishwasher safe. Not sure about the lid though. Lid is plastic, but decent quality.

This jar was perfect for my kids to pour their own water with. The glass is thick and it works well. The lid doesn’t come off when they use it so it doesn’t spill. The only downside is when you turn the lid to the closed position it doesn’t actually seal the water from getting out. I didn’t find that to matter much.
